Do you know the meaning of a responsible man?

People according to their death mindset quickly think a responsible man is the one that can effortlessly pay all the bills in the house, to the society especially African settings, that is a good man or an husband material. 

An irresponsible man to God is a man who is did not know or walking according to his assignment,God has saddled everyone with a responsibility once you're in the kingdom, because there is no idle man there,He will give you a duty posts and what you will be responsible for, in your  at your duty post. See what God told Adam and Eve; Genesis  1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 

Their duty is to be fruitful,multiply,replenished and subdue the earth, likewise also we are to do the same in any sphere of influence He sent us. That is our responsibility. So walking according to what is written in the volume of your books and carrying out your life assignment shows you're responsible, we have men around us who to folks in the world are responsible but to God they are irresponsible. So as a lady a man did not have a duty post in the kingdom, no life assignment, no vision, his life has no definition he  just fit in by default to the standard of this world but because he has enough fund to buy you things, you concluded he is a responsible man, that is death in disguise.

God does not have irresponsible children in His quiver,every believer has his or her own book with his or her assignment engrafted therein. Hear what Jesus told the disciples; Matthew  28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. 

He told them to "go to nations, baptizing  in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to teach men what He had commanded them" that is the responsibilities He gave to them,so if they did not do or act accordingly,to Him,they are IRRESPONSIBLE and the disciples actually did exactly what He told them. The same way the Lord assigned us to teach and baptise men into kingdom truth in all spheres of influence. 

When Jesus gave the parable of a man travelling to a far country,he gave his servants different number of gifts to trade with and bring increase, and he gave them the gifts according to their capacity and went straightaway to the journey so on getting back the responsible ones had trade with their gifts and gain more while the one he gave only a gift went to bury his own, he buried his assignment; Matthew  25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

So the man that buried his gift is an irresponsible man,and the gift was collected from him and given to the one with ten gifts and was cast down to the place where there is gnashing of teeth.
